Procurement Notes

Verify compliance requirements as this specific part number may not be RoHS compliant based on available database records. Confirm lead times and availability directly with authorized distributors or API Delevan, as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure the selected variant matches the required pin configuration and package dimensions for your PCB layout.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-inductance value near 12 nH is required for RF tuning. Consider the 1.2 A current rating and 70 mOhm resistance for power handling needs. Compare against other Series 106 variants like the 106-121G if different inductance values are needed. Ensure the non-shielded design fits within electromagnetic interference constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the API Delevan Series 106, a line of unshielded chip inductors. These components are generally used in general-purpose and RF applications. The series offers various inductance values, typically ranging from single-digit nanohenries to higher microhenry values, providing flexibility for different circuit designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Series 106 parts such as 106-121G or 106-122J, though these have different inductance values (1.2 uH). Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 12 nH SMD inductors ensuring similar current ratings and self-resonant frequencies.
